TV in the kitchen: placement options, photos

Television has become a part of our everyday life. We can no longer imagine life without his cheerful broadcasting. For a modern person, a TV in the kitchen is not a luxury, but a necessity. After all, the pace of life is increasing and rushing to work and having breakfast, we want to hear the news or listen to the weather forecast, and maybe cheer ourselves up with good music. And often when renovating, the question of the best location for it in the interior arises. In this article we tried to collect useful information on this issue.

Options for placing a small TV

A small device, with a diagonal of 15–20 inches, will look most harmonious in a small room. And here, when choosing its location, space saving is primarily taken into account. Therefore, a great solution would be to attach it to the wall using a bracket. If it is not possible to mount this device, you can use a shelf.

IMPORTANT. In a small kitchen, the concentration of fat and moisture is increased, so when choosing a TV model, give preference to an option that is more protected from these factors.

Large TV in the kitchen

If the kitchen area exceeds the average size, then you can afford to install an option with a large screen (from 30 inches). Typically, such rooms are visually divided into two parts:

• Work area (a place for cooking, storing food, and also for washing dishes).
• Dinner Zone.

In this case, the location must be chosen in such a way that what is happening on the screen can be viewed from both zones. In a spacious kitchen, equipment can be placed not only on a wall or shelf, but also a special cabinet can be installed, an option can be seen in the photo.

Kitchen design with sofa and TV

For many people, a sofa and a TV are inextricable elements of comfort. And despite prejudices, placing upholstered furniture in this room is quite acceptable. You just need to follow a few rules:

• Choose a compact model.
• Install upholstered furniture in the dining area.
• In this case, the TV is placed on or against the wall, and the furniture is placed on the other sides. In this case, the sofa is separated from the work area by a table and chairs.

REFERENCE. For small rooms, you can use kitchen soft corners as a sofa, which are equipped with a table and stools.

4 successful options for placing appliances in the kitchen

Choosing a place from which the image on the screen will be viewed as comfortably as possible is not enough for installation; it is also necessary to provide for its protection from water and greasy splashes, as well as moist fumes during cooking. Of course, each owner has his own opinion about the successful location of the equipment, but there are several win-win options:

• Using a bracket.
• Hanging a special shelf on the wall.
• When renovating, provide a built-in niche in the wall or headset.
• By installing a special cabinet.

Also, when installing, keep in mind that exposure to direct sunlight has a bad effect on the condition of the equipment. It is also adversely affected by being near radiation and heating elements, so do not place the TV near a microwave oven or gas stove. Now let's look at each option in more detail.

On the bracket

A bracket is a special mount with which equipment is secured to the wall. It allows you to rotate the screen at different angles to the wall. This method is especially good in small rooms. It allows you to save space while turning the screen in the desired direction. Unfortunately, this method is only suitable for modern models with a flat screen. The device is attached to the surface using anchor bolts.

ATTENTION. To place appliances in the kitchen, the bracket can be mounted not only on the wall, but also on other surfaces, for example, on the ceiling.

Recently, designers have begun to propose placing the device above the sink, and such a move is not without meaning. You just need to take care of sufficient waterproofing of the equipment.

On the shelf

Another great solution would be to place the device on a special shelf. This is especially acceptable if the kitchen set is made to order. Then the equipment will fit perfectly into the overall interior. When a shelf is made separately from the set, do not forget that it must be made in the same style, from the same material and in the same colors.

If you decide to empty a shelf in an already installed set, make sure that the resulting niche matches the size of the equipment (note that the device must be well ventilated).Also, after installation, make sure that the TV is stable and does not wobble.

Embedding in a niche

This option is calculated even during the rough finishing of the room. It is better than all others for placing appliances in the kitchen, but, unfortunately, it is only suitable for large rooms.

Since in a small room this method visually reduces the space. Using this move, you can use a niche with equipment as a kind of interior decoration, and give the overall appearance an original and extraordinary look. It can be made according to the size of the device, or it can be somewhat larger. Don't forget to provide the niche with a socket and antenna output so as not to disturb the overall aesthetic perception.

Kitchen - studio

Recently, studio apartments have become an increasingly popular type of housing. In this room, the problem of placing a TV does not arise at all, since it is enough to purchase a version with a large diagonal and hang it in such a way that it is clearly visible from the kitchen. You can also achieve this by installing it on a special cabinet at the point of visual connection between the kitchen area and the living room. This solution allows you to create a general image of the interior space.

And in conclusion, I would like to say a few words about the very subject of our story. In order for the equipment to serve for a long time, it is worth taking care of its safety, so we recommend installing a protective screen. Also, do not forget about timely cleaning of the back surface of the TV. After all, accumulating dust clogs the ventilation holes, which can lead to overheating of the equipment.
